Send Emails From A Different Address Or Alias

Using Your NC State Email Alias

NOTE: If you have just had an alias request completed, please wait two hours for the Alias to finish processing in the system before trying the below steps.

To set up your Google account to send email as your alias please see the instructions Google provides at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370.  

• You are not required to verify and confirm your email address.  Google already knows the alias belongs to you, so you can skip to Step 3 for instructions on how to manually change the From address when you compose a new email.
• Follow the instructions under Always send from a different address if you wish to change your default From and reply-to address to your alias.

Updating your address in the Campus Directory

The directory will display the email address designated as "Preferred", normally the "Business" address for active employees as listed in the MyPack Portal. Contact your departmental HR representative if you wish to make a change.
